Epic supports Gears of War updates

by Dustin Burg { Nov 15th 2006 at 8:30PM }

The oh so dashing Mark Rein posted a heart warming message to Gears fans on the official Gears of War message boards. Simply put, he stated that Epic was "going to support Gears of War and we're going to make improvements and enhancements for it." No dates or timetable was stated, but Epic just wants the fans to know that they are listening to us, hearing our complaints and praise, and will come out with updates and possibly new content in the near future. Now that's a real game developing company, actually caring about their customers and going the extra mile for them. Here's looking at you Electronic Arts, you're still grounded.

Thats fantastic, although totally what i trusted Epic would do. Here's my vote for a VGA lcd monitor stretchy image when above 640 x 480 fix. lookin forward to it

While gears is in my mind not a PERFECT game. I knew epic would do this.

I mean cmon, these are the guys that released their game with the full authoring tools to create/mod the game, and instructional videos detailing how to use the said tools on a dvd.

If that doesnt say "hey, we care" I dont know what does.

I got a required update when I put the game in last night... anyone else get it?

Wow, its great to see them care about their game and image!

#3: Yeah that update came out the day the game was released.

can they make a patch that will make my chainsaw work I think that mine is always out of gas

After playing through the game in co-op mode, it was fantastic. Nothing like playing through an entire game with your buddy who lives 900 miles away.

What I want? Gears of War: Alpha Squad. I want to know/play what Cole and Baird were doing while you were playing as Marcus & Dom, from the conversations, there was some battles going down.

"Woo! Thats my kinda shit!"

Though i may be a huge PS3 fanboy, I love Gears of War.....but with everything aside....

THIS IS HOW GAME DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE.....they would not only make more money, but they would keep thier fans and would instill a base that would give them a reputation of "WE CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS THINK WE JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY..."

This is just very cool regardless of when it's released...it's still good to know they are listening...

I'd like a patch that will stop my Gears of War from freezing at least once every time i play it...

anybody else have this problem?

#6: Try keeping your B button pressed. You aren't supposed to be clicking it ;)

#9: It sounds like a problem with your hardware, or your HD might be corrupted or something.

*.*: This is one of few developers that can get away with saying something like this, and that is because of their track record. Epic delivers. That's what they do.
